The Resistance publishing house De Bezige Bij [The Busy Bee] was financed with money earned with broadside verse and other special publications. This was such a lucrative business that there was even enough money left over to pay for large numbers of Jewish children to go into hiding. During the occupation the company built up a reputation as a left-wing publisher ‐ an image that needed to be maintained after the liberation, even though many of the works published by the post-war Bezige Bij were firmly in a different political camp.
